He affirmed that Persis is in a favourable position because they are the home team and will receive motivation from the supporters.

“Persis has extraordinary supporters; I am proud and touched, they always appreciate the team’s efforts,” he added.

Dewa United has gone through 12 matches in the Super League without defeat, with 19 matches ending in victory.
